For everything you give your child, you take something away…
Entitlemania is an epidemic. Well-intentioned parents across the country have enabled a “me” generation of children who lack the wisdom and satisfaction of accomplishment that only struggle and adversity can bring. A veteran advisor and legal counsel to America’s most successful families, Richard Watts has seen the extremes of “entitlemania” up close – and wants to help you avoid creating it in your own children.
Entitlemania will teach you how to redirect kids and repair adults who believe the world owes them something. This is a wake-up call for parents: Although you act with the best of intentions, your actions can unwittingly be damaging to those you hold dearest.
